After John was arrested, Jesus went to Galilee, preaching the good news of God: “The timeis fulfilled, and the kingdom of God has come near. Repent and believe in the good news!”Mark 1:14-15 (CSB) Dear Friends, In studying the book of Mark this spring, I find myself returning again and…
Getting Into the Body
Dear friends, Every man in Joshua Fellowship has their own story and goals, but we like to joke that there is one thing we all have in common: pornography. This widespread addiction both fuels into and develops out of our sexual brokenness, fostering a destructive negative cycle. As a ministry…
God’s Beautiful Design for Sexuality
“God did not create sexuality with morality [i.e. rules] in mind. He created sexuality to image the relational mystery of the Trinity, with the ultimate goal that redeemed humans would be vessels of God’s divine presence who invite others to join His Divine Community of holy love.” – Linda Seiler…
Not That Different
Dear friends, When I first joined Outpost at the start of 2019, I was broken and despairing. I had already resigned myself to a life of being crushed by my unwanted same-sex romantic/erotic attractions. I felt like my struggle was super unique and that no one could really understand what…

Rather than ministering to those seeking wholeness in their sexuality and identity, this group was designed to minister to the families and friends of strugglers. As the group began,…
The Witness of Courage: RHN Reflections
A couple weeks ago, I had the privilege to attend my first in-person HOPE Conference. The HOPE conference, which is held by Restored Hope Network (RHN)*, is a wonderful time of worship, testimonies, and receiving from the Lord. As one of the attendees put it, it is quite the experience…
Truth, Love, and Pronouns
